Montreal was originally incorporated as the Village of Hamilton and was the first village formed in Iron County. Montreal, incorporation as a city in 1924, was named for the Montreal Mining Company, which had several iron ore mines in the area during the late 1800s. The Montreal Company Location Historic District, which includes several company town houses, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as a national example of industrial community planning. The Montreal iron mine was operated by Oglebay Norton Corporation, and at the time of its closing in 1962, was the deepest iron mine in the world with a vertical depth of 4,335 feet.The ore deposits left from Montreal's mining days can still be seen from Wisconsin Highway 77.
